Control panel (1) located in a vehicle door armrest, comprising a rigid external component (2) and a printed circuit board (PCB) (5) provided with a capacitive sensor capable of detecting the approach or contact of a user's finger on the rigid external component (2). The rigid external component (2) is provided with operating areas (3), preferably indicated by means of icons (4) and relief, which the user has to operate with his/her finger in order to perform a certain action in the vehicle. The external component is produced in one single piece, thereby considerably reducing the number of components required in relation to conventional control panels.
